The accused was charged with firearms, drug, and dangerous driving offences after police investigated his parked vehicle for cannabis and alcohol infractions.
The accused brought multiple Charter applications alleging arbitrary detention, excessive force via taser deployment, delayed right to counsel, improper muting of body-worn cameras, and an unlawful video-recorded strip search.
The court found a section 8 breach regarding the video recording of the strip search but declined to stay proceedings or exclude the evidence under section 24(2).
The remaining Charter claims were dismissed.
The accused was found guilty on all charges.
